Then and now...

1970 was a great year. This is Miss. Universe of 1970. What a smile.

These are the girls of Miss Universe of 2009. What happened? Are these girls 8 feet tall or what! What happened to change women in 39 years? Was it the McDonalds food or the water? I don't have a clue. Just wondering.

What he said.....

Saturday Night Live was only really decent the first couple of years. This is one of the reasons why.

Sometimes you just need a laugh.

Can you hear me now?

Vance, being so upset with the lousey service of Nextel in the Nations Capitol, he went to his garage and developed his new "Super 200 mile Hearing device".

"I'm so pissed that Nextel won't work half the time that I simply had to take matters into my own hands. I'm pleased with the results". With a little fine tuning, the device was put into action today on a trial run. "I went to Ocean City, Maryland and Janet yelled, "It's time to come home now." They worked great." Plans to mass produce this little gem are in the works and they should be available in January 2010. Praise be to God.

Jobs we have now....

The company I work for got a job at the Susquehanna State Park doing wet land plantings and seeding at the dam repair. The park is really cool and only 2 hours from my house. The campground was closed this time of year but I must come back in the spring and check this place out.

My brother the biker....

This is Blane, my brother. Back in the day he rode
a KZ650 and tried to "play the game" but soon found
that booze and bikes can f--k you up. He's "all better now"
and has a grip on life and motorcycles are fun again.
I always thought of myself as the "biker" in the family
but Blane has the bug and won't let it go. Right on.

In my day, I had so many bikes, I didn't

know which one to ride. I've sold my last bike

so the wife and I can go camping in the

new Camper Trailer. We dig it.
Ride on brother, be safe and have a blast.

Maybe I need a new bike......

What we drive today....

Sorry the picture is so small, I'll try again later.
Anyway, this is Martins killer Bug. Being in
Arizona the thing should last forever. Sweet!

Incredibly Sad News from Albuquerque

My sister just sent me an email.

The Hofbrau's gone. Even though it was more recently known as Penn Station, it will always remain in the hearts of the countless barflies who passed through its doors each morning as the 'brau.

"Gone" as in bulldozed. To the ground. It's dead. Nicht mehr. Bleeding deceased.

I worked there for a while back in the early to mid80s along with an ex-wife, ex-girlfriend and cast of crazies.

I noticed that flags are at half-staff today in New Mexico. Fitting is what I say.Here's a couple of Tributes from around the world

I'll be sure to post some reminiscences in the near future from my time spent there.

2500 vistors and counting...

The accounting firm of Skipjack and Paddywhack has just informed the Moonpie staff that they have now gone over 2500 visitors to the "Pie". Vance was notified at work and said, "this is a dream come true. I never would have dreamed that two balding, pot bellied guys could attract the masses." Rick was unavailable for comment, a spokesperson said something about a sorority bash. Martin and Jones have not been reached for comment at this time. Vance continues, "This all started as something for Rick and I to pass the time, but now we must ramp this puppy up a notch or two. We have an obligation to make people smile at themselves."

"I check into Moonpie just before I go to bed every night." - L.L. Cool Jay

" I laugh my ass off reading this shit." -Prince Charles

"I read everything." - Sarah Palin

Hey, we are just having some fun in a goofy world, stay tuned and thanks for looking in on us.

Peace- the Moonpie Staff.

Slick Rick...wow

Some of you may remember last year I told
how Rick and I had worked on a dairy farm
in Belen, New Mexico for a year disguised as
women. We just had to lay low for a while.
Well, all these years later I find out that Rick
is up to his old tricks again. Posing as a college
co-ed, Rick managed to bluff his way into a R.A.
position at the all girl dormitory.

Rick, seen here (wearing the same t-shirt from
27 years ago. Rick never did see the need to give
up on a garment just cause it showed a little wear.)
helps another young co-ed get her "T-back" thong 'just right'.
Rick has been a master of 'shape-shifting' ever since
he studied with that woman in Ojo Caleinte' years ago.
I'm jealous.
